school girl thoughts

there are lots of things i could be doing at school at the moment, but i have been on my feet for the past six hours teaching non-stop to a bunch of stressed-out students. all of the grading and essay preparation can wait for tomorrow, when i will have much more time than a measly thirty minutes (thirty minutes of somewhat patiently waiting to get out of here for the night).

life is a little crazy at the moment, but, then again, my life is never really normal. much of the drama is not mine to tell. i'll leave it off the blog aside from my own musings about how exactly one crashes one's car into a cow. i thought cows were slow and stationary animals, but perhaps they are faster in africa. all mammals involved are recovering and doing better...i just have to wonder.

having been in korea for a solid six months now, i haven't laid eyes on a cow in quite some time. we don't really have them in tallahassee either, so it must have been during my last trip to kentucky. i guess i don't know my farm animals, so who am i to judge?

having been in korea for a solid six months now, i'm also starting to consider what to do after the next six. my ideas change almost daily. i want to teach again. i never ever want to teach again. i want to go back to southeast asia. i want to go to south america. i want to... i want to... i want to...

who knows? but two things are definitely in my pre-law school period of freedom. i'm making tentative plans to do the everest base camp trek with a fellow scuba girl from phi phi right after i finish here. i would still be home for thanksgiving (at least, christmas). it's something i have wanted to do since leslie and grat started planning their trip there. i couldn't go with them because they started the same day i began my divemaster's internship.

speaking of diving, that's my second must-do: i want to get my open water scuba instructor's ranking. i have to do it in bali, where i did my divemaster's. i love the shop there, and i love everything about life in bali, even my commute at sunrise (if a biycle ride down the beach is really a commute at all).

as for now, just looking forward to the next weekend.
